Then the commander called two of his officers and said, "Get two hundred soldiers ready to go to Caesarea, together with seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen, and be ready to leave by nine o'clock tonight.

Provide some horses for Paul to ride and get him safely through to Governor Felix."

I, too, am a man placed under the authority of superior officers, and I have soldiers under me. I order this one, 'Go!' and he goes; I order that one, 'Come!' and he comes; and I order my slave, 'Do this!' and he does it."

Take your part in suffering, as a loyal soldier of Christ Jesus.

A soldier on active duty wants to please his commanding officer and so does not get mixed up in the affairs of civilian life.
